Hey Mica- Not sure if it matters just yet but I thought I'd let you know what guage strings I prefer- I usually go with DR or D'Addario strings guaged around 10-13-17-26-36-46- Every once in a while I'll go with something a little heavier on the bottom 2-3 strings ending with something like a 49 or a 52- Also just left Roger at THG a message as I am still interested in having ebony control knobs made for this guitar- I assume it would make sense to order them soon?... | ||

Just to follow up on this- I went ahead and placed an order for 5 Ebony knobs today from THG- Roger estimates that they will be completed next week and they will be shipped directly to Alembic- | ||

Perfect! I'll be on the lookout for them. Please confirm with Roger that there will be 2 set screws per knob. I'm not sure if he does this as a standard or not, but it sure makes for better set knobs. Your string gauges are right about what our normal 10s are. If you want to start out with your specific strings, we ask that you send us a set. | ||

Yes, I requested 2 set screws per knob- Also, regarding the strings, I think I'd like to go ahead and try your normal 10s- Thanks... |
